wow it looks really cool, keep it up

im building a setup this week in my spare time out of panel steel and the flexi tubing tack welded and pop rivited to the front apron, purely because im running at bathurst. but ive done 27 laps of wakefield and only just started to get pad knock off in my 1200 coupe with stanza brakes
so id just see how you go, but make a set up and try them on the day.
ill post some pics up of my work.

bump.

hi sumith. the wire connects to the negative (-) side of the coil, on aftermarket gauges the wire is normally green. and there is a red for power and a black for negative. but on the standard tacho i dont know what they are.
hope that helps.

hi guys just letting you know that the festival of sporting cars is on, on the easter weekend. 3 days of historic racing and even "le mans at le mount" which will be all the old le mans cars competing at the mount.
im competing in regularity in the little 1200, so im gonna give full timed consistent laps a go. which may be hard considering that i havnt done regularity before, and the circuit is 6k's long.
hope to see some people there.
cheers kurt

i had been looking into adapting a toyota corolla ke70 steering rack into my 1200 until i re-read my class rules (doh) so that is as far as i got. plus you can get quick racks for them because of all the ae86 drifters out there. with remade tie rods and the right threaded datsun to toyota ish rod ends i dont understand y i cant be done with a welder and a weekends work. im still consedering it for my daily.
cheers kurt

is the 260z box roughly a same size box physically and weight wise, and how would i go about adapting it. i have a 56 series front that i could cut and shut, is that how you would do it?
cheers

hey what about if i machine up a collar to sit in the crankshaft spigot hole and then step it up to accomodate a shorter l series input shaft. so machine one side to be the same as an a series spigot and then machine a step up adaptor kind of thing which has the l series hole in the other end. (in more detail) which takes out all of the time of striping the lot just to get to the cluster?
at least i know what im saying i dont know if you guys will work it out from what i said.
just a thought

damn a14force i was soooo going to work tomorow to just do that. now i have to remove everything to lathe down the input shaft. lol
at least ive got a box to work off.
thanks for everybodys help, with any luck ill be running at the festival of sporting cars on easter weekend at mt panorama so id better pull my finger out and get it done.
cheers kurt

hi guys im after just a rough guide on what i have to do to convert an l series 63a 5 speed into th a series one. i have both and the a series one is worn beyond easy repair, so i got an l series 63a 5 speed out of a stanza. to my knowledge all i have to do is lathe down the input shaft. is that all i have 2 do?
cheers kurt.
